Can you resell tickets online?

The best place to resell your official event tickets is with a reputable, online ticket reseller marketplace.



Yes, you can resell tickets online, but in 2026, the process is governed by strict "Fair Pricing" laws in many regions. In the United Kingdom, a new law implemented in late 2025 caps the resale of tickets at face value plus strictly defined fees, effectively banning high-profit scalping on platforms like Viagogo or StubHub. In the United States, the "TICKET Act" (passed in 2025/2026) mandates "all-in pricing," requiring resellers to show the total price including all fees upfront. Furthermore, many artists and venues now use "non-transferable" digital tickets (like Ticketmaster's SafeTix), which can only be resold through the official "Fan-to-Fan" exchange at a fixed price. While it is legal to resell tickets you cannot use, doing so for a significant profit is increasingly difficult and can result in the ticket being voided if it is caught on an unauthorized secondary marketplace. Always check the specific "Terms and Conditions" on your digital ticket before listing it.

Currently, there are no federal laws that prohibit the scalping or resale of tickets. Instead, states are free to enact their own state scalping laws to regulate the practice. The laws on ticket scalping tend to vary widely from state to state.

Look for ticket resellers that protect buyers. Ticket resellers should have a consumer protection policy and/or be registered with the National Association of Ticket Brokers. Most major ticket resellers will typically provide a full refund if the ticket is forgery.
